Gotta say, this is probably the best value for money you can get. Evan keeps his building spotless and is very accommodating.

What I loved about this room:
- It's really quiet, which is very nice, since the neighbourhood is calm, but far from silent :) The noisiest thing in this room, for me, were the birds singing in the morning.
- Mosquito-free! I don't know how, but there was literally not 1 insect in the room.
- Airco AND a fan.

For me, it was the perfect place and intend on staying here again.

The area is nice, some bars here and there, and a bunch of massage places, but nothing like the mayhem some people fear when visiting Bangkok. All in all, it's calm and feels very safe. The place is in a small dead end street, which makes it feel the street really has its own community of locals who watch out for each other.

Right next door is an Italian restaurant, which is visited by Thai locals, expats (always a good sign) and tourists. There's a nice bar on the corner, 7 Eleven less than a 5 minute stroll, and it's very easy to get from here to all the tourist destinations, but avoiding the hordes of tourists some would prefer to avoid.

Nothing bad to say about this place, to be honest.
